Gary Roy Nairn  (born 3 January 1951) is an Australian former politician.

Early life
Nairn was born in Sydney, and was educated at Sydney Boys High School from 1963 to 1968 before attending University of New South Wales. He was a surveyor in private practice and managing director of a surveying and mapping consultancy before entering politics.  He moved to the Northern Territory where he lived for many years. He was President of the Country Liberal Party between 1990 and 1994, during which time the CLP won two elections with an increased vote.

Federal Political Career
Nairn returned to New South Wales and in March 1996 was elected a Liberal Party of Australia member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the seat of Eden-Monaro.

In 2003, he headed a federal inquiry into the 2003 Canberra bushfires.  He was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister John Howard in October 2004. In January 2006 he was promoted to the front bench as Special Minister of State which included responsibilities with Ministerial and Parliamentary Services, the Australian Government Information Management Office, Australian Electoral Commission, Defence Housing Authority, and Film Australia. He served in Howard's outer ministry.

Nairn's hold on Eden-Monaro was always rather tenuous. For most of the time since the late 1960s, the seat has been highly marginal; it had been held by the party of government without interruption since 1972. Even in the midst of a massive swing to the Coalition in 2004, for instance, Nairn only managed a swing of 0.4 percent.

In the 2007 federal election, Nairn lost his seat to Labor candidate Mike Kelly. Nairn was one of five members of the Howard ministry to lose their seats at the election.  Howard also lost his own seat of Bennelong.

Phelps-Kelly Controversy
In September 2007, Nairn's chief of staff, Peter Phelps, engaged in a heated verbal exchange with the Labor Party candidate for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly at a forum on the Iraq War in Queanbeyan, New South Wales.  At the meeting Phelps claimed that Mike Kelly was a hypocrite as a former soldier running for the ALP when they are opposed to the war in Iraq. Phelps stated at the meeting that he thought Kelly was using the Nuremberg defence, and compared it to the kind of defence used by guards at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Nairn did not agree with his staffer's sentiments.

National Spatial Action Agenda, ANZLIC and SIBA
During his time in Parliament, Nairn worked closely with Warwick Watkins who was the Chairman of ANZLIC, the Australian New Zealand Land Information Council (also known as the Spatial Information Council) to advocate federal government support for the National Spatial Action Agenda and other related initiatives including the Australian Spatial Consortium (ASC) and the Cooperative Research Centre, CRC for Spatial Information (CRC-SI). Further, Nairn worked closely with the Australian Spatial Information Business Association (ASIBA), which later changed its name to the Spatial Information Business Association (SIBA), to support the agenda.

Nairn advocated the Agenda to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet and was supported by ASIBA and ANZLIC throughout. Arising from these efforts, Warren Entsch, then Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry, Science and Resources, launched the establishment of a steering group to drive the Spatial Information Industry Action Agenda in November 2000.

The Action Agenda was released in September 2001. Under the Spatial Information Industry Action Agenda, on 25 September 2001, then Minister for Industry, Science and Resources, Senator Nick Minchin announced a $2 million Grant to a consortium of private "spatial firms" to increase the effectiveness of spatial information. ASIBA was identified as the industry body to lead most of the responsibility under the action agenda. Minchin also identified the key intergovernmental roles of ANZLIC under the Action Agenda. Nairn continued his support for the agenda until he lost his federal seat in November 2007 election. Thereafter, he remained engaged through ASIBA/SIBA. In 2012, Nairn was appointed as the Chair of SIBA.

Nairn, in his role as Special Minister of State, announced the establishment of ASC, with initial membership including ANZLIC, ASIBA and CRC-SI. Watkins was designated as Chairman of the ASC Steering Committee. ASC was reported as being established "to accelerate the unlocking of the potential of spatial information for economic, environmental and social benefit for Australia within key industries, and the development of tools, new technologies and capabilities relating to the fundamental future needs of the nation." The actual role and achievements, if any of ASC, remain vague.

Under the National Spatial Information Industry Action Agenda, the CRC-SI was established in 2003 and launched by Nairn after significant advocacy by ANZLIC led by Watkins and also ASIBA.  In its 2011-12 Annual Report (page 12), CRC-SI reported that Watkins, a Director of CRC-SI since inception, had resigned from the CRC-SI Board following his retirement from the NSW Public Service.  The CRC-SI reporting was false as Watkins was officially sacked by the NSW government.

There is no doubt there has been much controversy with the spatial industry development in Australia, linked to key figures like Watkins and Elizabeth O'Keeffe and the roles of ASIBA/SIBA and ANZLIC.

Watkins was subsequently sacked by the NSW government over the illegal Currawong land deal, on which Watkins lied to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in delivering its official findings in December 2011 reported that Watkins acted corruptly. Watkins admitted to ICAC he had used a letter backdated by former planning minister Tony Kelly to mislead investigators. Watkins was subsequently convicted on 2 of 4 criminal charges.  Watkins was the only person charged and convicted.

Elizabeth O'Keeffe, the ANZLIC delegate for Victoria, represented Watkins on the steering committee for the Spatial Information Industry Action Agenda until July 2002, when she was reportedly sacked from her position as Executive Director, Land Victoria. It was also reported that O'Keeffe had approved an illegal $100,000 contract for ASIBA to "lobby her own Minister" Sherryl Garbutt to promote the Spatial Information Industry Action Agenda.  However, it was also disclosed in the Victorian Parliament that O'Keeffe's primary agenda in engaging the ASIBA lobbyist was to discredit the Surveyor-General as well as the professional and industry bodies, the Institution of Surveyors Victoria and the Association of Consulting Surveyors Victoria.  The contract was agreed between O'Keeffe and then ASIBA Chairman, Tony Wheeler, and then ASIBA Chief Executive Officer, David Hocking. The contract was signed with the concurrence of O'Keeffe's superiors, Minister Garbutt and Department Secretary Chloe Munro.  Following adverse media and Opposition reporting of its illegality, the contract was found to not be appropriate and was cancelled after the first tranche of $25,000 was paid to ASIBA.

O'Keeffe, was also to depart from her public service appointment under controversial circumstances.  On 12 July 2002, the prominent Melbourne newspaper, The Age, reported that O'Keeffe had separated from Land Victoria and that the Opposition claimed she had been sacked.  O'Keeffe threatened legal action against anyone claiming she had been sacked. The media reporting of O'Keeffe's departure as a sacking continued, but there was no reported legal action taken by O'Keeffe.

Weinecke bezeichnet eine Siedlung mit namensgebender Burgstelle im Flurstück "Schloss" in der Flur Schieben OT von Naumburg (Saale). Dieser Ort ist heute Teil des Ortes Schieben. Der Name Weinecke geriet bereits im 16. Jahrhundert in Vergessenheit. Die Burg war zum Teil Lehen der Markgrafen von Meißen und des Bischofs von Naumburg. Erstmals wird die gleichnamige Ministerialenfamilie im Jahr 1271 genannt, letztmals 1353. Später hatten es die Herren von Büßleben und von Ebersberg in Besitz. Während der Zeit der Herren von Ebersberg scheint die Burg zerstört worden zu sein, wahrscheinlich im Zusammenhang mit dem Sächsischen Bruderkrieg. Der Ort Weinecke existierte dem Namen nach noch bis Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts, bevor er im Nachbarort Schieben aufging. Heute erinnert daran lediglich der Flurname "Schloss" und ein in der Umgebung auftretender Familienname Weinecke.

Daniel Francis Haggerty (November 19, 1942 – January 15, 2016) was an American actor who was best known for playing the title role in the film and television series The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.

Early life
Haggerty's was born in Pound, Wisconsin. His parents separated when he was three. He ran away from military school several times. He lived with his father in Burbank, California.

Acting career
Haggerty was cast in a small non-speaking role as a bodybuilder in the 1964 film Muscle Beach Party and also as a bodybuilder in Girl Happy. He also worked as a stuntman on the 1966 television series Tarzan, and as set builder on various other projects. More stunt work followed, as well as supporting roles in numerous low-budget biker and wildlife films of the era, such as Angels Die Hard, The Adventures of Frontier Fremont, and Terror Out of the Sky. In addition to his bit part as a hippie in Easy Rider'''', he also assisted in building the motorcycles featured in the film.

 His experience with animals also brought him work as an animal trainer and handler in films produced by Walt Disney Studios. Haggerty directed white tigers, wolverines, eagles, and wild boar in the 1974 feature film When the North Wind Blows for Sunn Classic Pictures, which also produced The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, a wildly popular film released the same year, in which he portrayed the title character Grizzly Adams. From the latter film evolved the NBC television series of the same name which ran from 1977 to 1978, and Haggerty became known to movie-goers for his portrayal of nature-loving James Capen "Grizzly" Adams.

Haggerty starred in the television film Condominium (1980), which also starred Barbara Eden, Ralph Bellamy and Stuart Whitman. Haggerty played a hydrology expert trying to warn residents that their Florida condos were about to be demolished in an approaching hurricane. In 1981, he appeared in an episode of Charlie's Angels, called "Waikiki Angels," as Bo Thompson. He guest-starred as Sawdust Radell on The Love Boat in 1983 ("World's Greatest Kisser"). That year, he also appeared briefly in David Carradine's 1983 film Americana and provided a fighting dog for the production. In the film, he not only played the role of the dog's trainer, but also assisted in set design and the restoration of a broken down carousel, which figured prominently in the film.

Haggerty made a cameo appearance as an attorney in Terror Night (1987) with John Ireland and Cameron Mitchell, starred in Night Wars (1988) as a Vietnam veteran who is a psychologist dealing with nightmares of his fellow veterans, and appeared in horror films such as Elves and the Linda Blair film The Chilling in 1989. He starred in the 1989 film Spirit of the Eagle.

Haggerty played lead roles in the films Repo Jake (1990) and Elves (1990).  In 1995's Grizzly Mountain, he starred as a modern-day version of Grizzly Adams and worked with bears, foxes, and hawks in the film. He reprised his role in Escape to Grizzly Mountain (2000). Haggerty was featured as a character in Al Franken's 1999 political satire novel, Why Not Me?.

Haggerty continued to work as both an actor and infomercial spokesman. One of his endorsements was for the Pap-Ion Magnetic Inductor (PAP-IMI), a device alleged to have health benefits. He had only been hired as a spokesperson and was found not to be part of the fraud that later embroiled the manufacturer.

In Big Stan (2007), he played Tubby, and appeared as a lumberjack foreman in Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan (2013). Haggerty also did several voice-overs and can also be seen in music videos by Hank Williams Jr. and Rogues of the Empire.  Haggerty appeared on the U.S. television show American Pickers in its episode "California Kustom", which aired on History on February 25, 2013.

Personal life
Haggerty married Diane Rooker in 1959 at a Las Vegas wedding chapel in the Silver Slipper Hotel when they were 17. The couple had two daughters, Tracey and Tammy. They divorced in 1984, after which Haggerty married Samantha Hilton. Haggerty and Hilton had two sons, Dylan and Cody, and one daughter, Megan. They were married until Hilton's death following a motorcycle accident on August 10, 2008.

Haggerty lived on a small ranch in Malibu Canyon with an assortment of wild animals that he had tamed at birth or rescued from injury. At a restaurant in 1977, a patron with a flaming cocktail set Haggerty's beard on fire. As he attempted to extinguish the flames, Haggerty received third-degree burns on his arms. Production on The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams television series was halted while Haggerty recovered. In 1991, Haggerty was hospitalized after a motorcycle accident left him in a coma.

In 1985, Haggerty received a jail sentence of 90 days and three years' probation after being convicted of selling cocaine to an undercover police officer.

Death
In August 2015, Haggerty was diagnosed with spinal cancer after a tumor was discovered while he underwent back surgery. He died of spinal cancer on January 15, 2016, in Burbank, California.

A fallacy of division is an informal fallacy that occurs when one reasons that something that is true for a whole must also be true of all or some of its parts.

An example:

 The second grade in Jefferson Elementary eats a lot of ice cream
 Carlos is a second-grader in Jefferson Elementary
 Therefore, Carlos eats a lot of ice cream

The converse of this fallacy is called fallacy of composition, which arises when one fallaciously attributes a property of some part of a thing to the thing as a whole.

If a system as a whole has some property that none of its constituents has (or perhaps, it has it but not as a result of some constituent's having that property), this is sometimes called an emergent property of the system.

The term mereological fallacy refers to approximately the same incorrect inference that properties of a whole are also properties of its parts.

History
Both the fallacy of division and the fallacy of composition were addressed by Aristotle in Sophistical Refutations.

In the philosophy of the ancient Greek Anaxagoras, as claimed by the Roman atomist Lucretius, it was assumed that the atoms constituting a substance must themselves have the salient observed properties of that substance: so atoms of water would be wet, atoms of iron would be hard, atoms of wool would be soft, etc. This doctrine is called homoeomeria, and it depends on the fallacy of division.

Examples in statistics

In statistics an ecological fallacy is a logical fallacy in the interpretation of statistical data where inferences about the nature of individuals are deduced from inference for the group to which those individuals belong. The four common statistical ecological fallacies are: confusion between ecological correlations and individual correlations, confusion between group average and total average, Simpson's paradox, and other statistical methods.

Fallacy of division


Bamse møder den store verden er en dansk tv-film der blev sendt den 24. december 2017 på DR Ramasjang. Det er den første produktion med karakteren Bamse siden Bamses lillebitte billedbog (2010). Tv-filmen er skabt af det originale hold fra tv-serien Bamses Billedbog, med Søren Hauch-Fausbøll som Bamse, Brian Patterson som Kylling, og Gitte Melgaard som Ælling og Snupse samt manuskriptforfatter.

Instruktør og manuskriptforfatter Katrine Hauch-Fausbøll har sagt om filmen: "Jeg har arbejdet med Bamse i 35 år, og det er første gang, Bamse ikke følges med sine to bedste venner Kylling og Ælling ud på en farefuld færd. Og det er både anderledes for dem og for mig. Men det er utroligt interessant og sjovt, at lade Bamse gå ud i den store verden, og at bringe de to nye figurer ind i Bamses univers. Det bidrager til at vise både nogle velkendte og nye sider af Bamse – nogle sider, som jeg er sikker på, børnene vil holde af".

Anacleto de Clemente y Bolívar (Caracas (Venezuela), 13 de julio de 1796 – Caracas, 27 de mayo de 1886). Segundo hijo del matrimonio formado por María Antonia de Bolívar y Palacios y Pablo de Clemente y Palacios. Coronel del Ejército Patriota. Sobrino y uno de los edecanes de Simón Bolívar.

Infancia

En 1803, a la edad de siete años, junto con su hermano Pablo Secundino Clemente, se embarca hacia Europa, bajo el cuidado de su tío Simón Bolívar. El futuro Libertador inscribe a los niños en el prestigioso colegio de Soreze, ubicado en Francia. Allí estudiarán hasta 1809 cuando terminan sus estudios y regresan a Venezuela. Anacleto Clemente, en Caracas, lleva la vida normal de cualquier adolescente de la clase mantuana.

Etapa de la Independencia

En 1811, cuando se inicia la Guerra de Independencia, Anacleto, como muchos jóvenes mantuanos, se  pone de parte de los patriotas. Esto será motivo de constantes disputas con su madre, María Antonia, que es una declarada partidaria del Rey.  En 1814, cuando cae la Segunda República su familia se refugia en Curazao. Tres años después pasan a Cuba.  En 1820, ya con 24 años de edad,  Anacleto decide regresar solo a Caracas y se asienta en una hacienda de la familia Bolívar en Zuata. Un año más tarde, el 29 de noviembre de 1821, en el poblado de Guacara, cercano a esa hacienda, se casa con Rosa Rodríguez del Toro, sobrina del marqués del Toro y poco después se marcha a Santafé de Bogotá en busca de su tío, Simón Bolívar.

Vida en Bogotá
Antes de marcharse hacia el Sur, el Libertador otorgó a Anacleto el rango de Coronel y lo nombró como uno de sus edecanes. Anacleto se quedó viviendo en la Casa que el gobierno había asignado al Libertador (Ver: Quinta de Bolívar) en Bogotá y llevó una vida disoluta, lo cual le valió varias veces, a través de cartas, fuertes reprimendas de su tío.  Una de esas reprimendas hizo que Anacleto abandonara Bogotá y se regresara, en 1826,  a Guacara para reencontrarse con su esposa.

Vida posterior a 1826

Anacleto se dedica a dirigir los negocios de la familia en el Valle de Zuata y en los Valles de Aragua. En 1827, en su última visita a Venezuela, el Libertador lo dejó encargado de la administración del Mayorazgo de la Concepción, vínculo hereditario que le había otorgado, en 1795, su primo hermano
Juan Félix Jerez Aristeguieta y Bolívar y que consistía en varias haciendas y una amplia casa en Caracas.
Cuando su madre muere en 1842, él y su hermano Pablo Secundino heredan la Hacienda de San Mateo que ya no tenía el esplendor de otros tiempos y que había sido la base principal de la fortuna de la familia Bolívar desde al menos 250 años antes. En 1858 Anacleto vende la llamada Casa del Vínculo de la Concepción en Caracas. En 1862 murió en Guacara su esposa. En 1877, ya sin fuerzas para continuar con las faenas de la hacienda, vendió el Ingenio Bolívar en San Mateo.

El coronel Anacleto Clemente Bolívar vivió sus últimos días en su hacienda en el Valle de Zuata. Murió en Caracas en 1886, a la avanzada edad de 90 años. No dejó descendencia.

Pinball Fantasies es un videojuego de pinball diseñado por Digital Illusions CE para el sistema Amiga, como una secuela a Pinball Dreams. Una futura secuela sería lanzada en 1995 llamada Pinball Illusions.

Tablas

Al igual como en Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies contiene cuatro tablas con diferentes niveles de dificultad.

 Party Land es una tabla ambientada en un Parque de diversiones, donde las letras PARTY (Fiesta) o CRAZY (Loco) deben estar encendidas para iniciar un evento de alto puntaje. Esta es la tabla más fácil debido a sus múltiples opciones de alto puntaje. Esta tabla está incluida en la versión de shareware.

 Speed Devils está enfocado en una carrera de coches, y el jugador debe superar autos para tomar la delantera. Esta es más difícil por la escasez de opciones de alto puntaje; adicionalmente, la tabla Billion Dollar y esta le darán al jugado sólo una bola extra en jugabilidad normal. Todas las cuatro tablas premian una bola extra después de haber perdido las otras; esto ocurre al azar.

 Billion Dollar Gameshow es una tabla al estilo de un concurso televisivo donde el jugador intenta ganar premios. Este es el más difícil, en parte por el límite de sólo una bola extra.

 Stones 'N Bones está basada en una casa de sustos, similar a Nightmare de Pinball Dreams, donde el jugador debe encender ocho luces sucesivamente. Esta es generalmente considerada la tabla de más alto puntaje.

Versiones
 La original, que corre en computadores Amiga con 1MB de RAM.
 Una versión Amiga CD32, lanzada en 1993.
 Una versión AGA mejorada para Amiga 1200 y 4000.
 Después se le hizo un port a computadores 286 corriendo MS-DOS. Comparado con el port de Pinball Dreams, esta versión de Pinball Fantasies sobresale en calidad. La versión de PC es notable por ofrecer calidad extremadamente alta, pero música y sonido tranquilo para el simple PC speaker, el cual no fue previamente escuchado sin una tarjeta de sonido separada. El juego corre bien con un 286 de 12 MHz, y solo requiere una tarjeta VGA. Esta versión es rápida porque usa Mode X y desplazamiento de doble pantalla para evitar redibujar la pantalla en cada cuadro. Además, una versión shareware ha sido lanzada, con sólo la tabla Party Land.
 Se ha lanzado una conversión al sistema Jaguar, la cual contiene colores extra, pero un movimiento más lento de la bola.

Naegleriasis (also known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis; PAM) is an almost invariably fatal infection of the brain by the free-living unicellular eukaryote Naegleria fowleri. Symptoms are meningitis-like and include headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, a stiff neck, confusion, hallucinations and seizures. Symptoms progress rapidly over around five days, and death usually results within one to two weeks of symptoms.

N. fowleri is typically found in warm bodies of fresh water, such as ponds, lakes, rivers and hot springs. It is also found in an amoeboid or temporary flagellate stage in soil, poorly maintained municipal water supplies, water heaters, near warm-water discharges of industrial plants and in poorly chlorinated or unchlorinated swimming pools. There is no evidence of it living in salt water. As the disease is rare, it is often not considered during diagnosis.

Although infection occurs very rarely, it almost inevitably results in death. Of the 128 naegleriasis US cases in the half-century to 2016, only two survived.

Signs and symptoms
Onset of symptoms begins one to twelve days following exposure (with a median of five). Initial symptoms include changes in taste and smell, headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, back pain, and a stiff neck. Secondary symptoms are also meningitis-like including confusion, hallucinations, lack of attention, ataxia, cramp and seizures. After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly, with death usually occurring anywhere from one to eighteen days later (with a median of five), although it can take longer. In 2013, a man in Taiwan died 25 days after being infected by Naegleria fowleri.

It affects healthy children or young adults who have recently been exposed to bodies of fresh water. Scientists speculate that lower age groups are at a higher risk of contracting the disease because adolescents have a more underdeveloped and porous cribriform plate, through which the amoeba travels to reach the brain.

Cause

N. fowleri invades the central nervous system via the nose, specifically through the olfactory mucosa of the nasal tissues. This usually occurs as the result of the introduction of water that has been contaminated with N. fowleri into the nose during activities such as swimming, bathing or nasal irrigation.

The amoeba follows the olfactory nerve fibers through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone into the skull. There, it migrates to the olfactory bulbs and subsequently other regions of the brain, where it feeds on the nerve tissue. The organism then begins to consume cells of the brain, piecemeal through trogocytosis, by means of an amoebostome, a unique actin-rich sucking apparatus extended from its cell surface. It then becomes pathogenic, causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM or PAME).

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis presents symptoms similar to those of bacterial and viral meningitis. Upon abrupt disease onset, a plethora of problems arise. Endogenous cytokines, which release in response to pathogens, affect the hypothalamus' thermoregulatory neurons and cause a rise in body temperature. Additionally, cytokines may act on the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis, leading to the synthesis of prostaglandin (PG) E2 which acts on the hypothalamus, resulting in an increase in body temperature. Also, the release of cytokines and exogenous exotoxins coupled with an increase in intracranial pressure stimulate nociceptors in the meninges creating pain sensations.

The release of cytotoxic molecules in the central nervous system results in extensive tissue damage and necrosis, such as damage to the olfactory nerve through lysis of nerve cells and demyelination. Specifically, the olfactory nerve and bulbs become necrotic and hemorrhagic. Spinal flexion leads to nuchal rigidity, or stiff neck, due to the stretching of the inflamed meninges. The increase in intracranial pressure stimulates the area postrema to create nausea sensations which may lead to brain herniation and damage to the reticular formation. Ultimately, the increase in cerebrospinal fluid from inflammation of the meninges increases intracranial pressure and leads to the destruction of the central nervous system. Although the exact pathophysiology behind the seizures caused by PAM is unknown, scientists speculate that the seizures arise from altered meningeal permeability caused by increased intracranial pressure.

Pathogenesis

Naegleria fowleri propagates in warm, stagnant bodies of fresh water (typically during the summer months), and enters the central nervous system after insufflation of infected water by attaching itself to the olfactory nerve. It then migrates through the cribriform plate and into the olfactory bulbs of the forebrain, where it multiplies itself greatly by feeding on nerve tissue.

Diagnosis
N. fowleri can be grown in several kinds of liquid axenic media or on non-nutrient agar plates coated with bacteria. Escherichia coli can be used to overlay the non-nutrient agar plate and a drop of cerebrospinal fluid sediment is added to it. Plates are then incubated at 37 °C and checked daily for clearing of the agar in thin tracks, which indicate the trophozoites have fed on the bacteria.

Detection in water is performed by centrifuging a water sample with E. coli added, then applying the pellet to a non-nutrient agar plate. After several days, the plate is microscopically inspected and Naegleria cysts are identified by their morphology. Final confirmation of the species' identity can be performed by various molecular or biochemical methods.

Confirmation of Naegleria presence can be done by a so-called flagellation test, where the organism is exposed to a hypotonic environment (distilled water). Naegleria, in contrast to other amoebae, differentiates within two hours into the flagellate state. Pathogenicity can be further confirmed by exposure to high temperature (42 °C): Naegleria fowleri is able to grow at this temperature, but the nonpathogenic Naegleria gruberi is not.

Prevention
Michael Beach, a recreational waterborne illness specialist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stated in remarks to the Associated Press that wearing of nose clips to prevent insufflation of contaminated water would be effective protection against contracting PAM, noting that "You'd have to have water going way up in your nose to begin with".

Advice stated in the press release from Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control recommended people prevent fresh water from entering the nostrils and avoid putting their heads down into fresh water or stirring mud in the water with feet. When starting to suffer from fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting subsequent to any kind of exposure to fresh water, even in the belief that no fresh water has traveled through the nostrils, people with such conditions should be carried to hospital quickly and make sure doctors are well-informed about the history of exposure to fresh water.

Treatment
On the basis of the laboratory evidence and case reports, heroic doses of amphotericin B have been the traditional mainstay of PAM treatment since the first reported survivor in the United States in 1982.

Treatment has often also used combination therapy with multiple other antimicrobials in addition to amphotericin, such as fluconazole, miconazole, rifampicin and azithromycin. They have shown limited success only when administered early in the course of an infection. Fluconazole is commonly used as it has been shown to have synergistic effects against naegleria when used with amphotericin in vitro.

While the use of rifampicin has been common, including in all four North American cases of survival, its continued use has been questioned. It only has variable activity in vitro and it has strong effects on the therapeutic levels of other antimicrobials used by inducing cytochrome p450 pathways.

In 2013, two successfully treated cases in the United States utilized the medication miltefosine.  there was no data on how well miltefosine is able to reach the central nervous system.  the U.S. CDC offered miltefosine to doctors for the treatment of free-living amoebas including naegleria. In one of the cases, a 12-year-old female, was given miltefosine and targeted temperature management to manage cerebral edema that is secondary to the infection. She survived with no neurological damage. The targeted temperature management commingled with early diagnosis and the miltefosine medication has been attributed with her survival. On the other hand, the other survivor, an 8-year-old male, was diagnosed several days after symptoms appeared and was not treated with targeted temperature management; however, he was administered the miltefosine. He suffered what is likely permanent neurological damage.

In 2016, a 16-year-old boy also survived PAM. He was treated with the same protocols of the 12-year-old girl in 2013. He recovered making a near complete neurological recovery; however, he has stated that learning has been more difficult for him since contracting the disease.

In 2018, a 10-year-old girl in the Spanish city of Toledo became the first person to have PAM in Spain, and was successfully treated using intravenous and intrathecal amphotericin B.

A 2023 study has discovered that the treatment (with usage of benzoxaboroles) of infected mice significantly prolonged survival and showed a 28% cure rate without relapse.

Prognosis

Since its first description in the 1960s, only seven people worldwide have been reported to have survived PAM out of 450 cases diagnosed, implying a fatality rate of about 98.5%. The survivors include four in the United States, one in Mexico and one in Spain. One of the US survivors had brain damage that is likely permanent, but there are two documented surviving cases in the United States who made a full recovery with no neurological damage; they were both treated with the same protocols.

Epidemiology
The disease is rare and highly lethal: there had only been 300 cases  Drug treatment research at Aga Khan University in Pakistan has shown that in vitro drug susceptibility tests with some FDA approved drugs used for non-infectious diseases (digoxin and procyclidine were shown to be most effective of the drugs studied) have proved to kill Naegleria fowleri with an amoebicidal rate greater than 95%. The same source has also proposed a device for drug delivery via the transcranial route to the brain.

In the US, the most common states with cases reported of PAM from N. fowleri are the southern states, with Texas and Florida having the highest prevalence. The most commonly affected age group is 5–14-year olds (those who play in water). The number of cases of infection could increase due to climate change, which was posited as the reason for three cases in Minnesota in 2010, 2012, and 2015.

 the numbers of reported cases were expected to increase simply because of better-informed diagnoses being made both in ongoing cases and in autopsy findings.

History
In 1899, Franz Schardinger first discovered and documented an amoeba he called Amoeba gruberi that could transform into a flagellate. The genus Naegleria was established by Alexis Alexeieff in 1912, who grouped the flagellate amoeba. He coined the term Naegleria after Kurt Nägler, who researched amoebae. It was not until 1965 that doctors Malcolm Fowler and Rodney F. Carter in Adelaide, Australia, reported the first four-human cases of amoebic meningoencephalitis. These cases involved four Australian children, one in 1961 and the rest in 1965, all of whom had succumbed to the illness. Their work on amebo-flagellates has provided an example of how a protozoan can effectively live both freely in the environment, and in a human host.

In 1966, Fowler termed the infection resulting from N. fowleri primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) to distinguish this central nervous system (CNS) invasion from other secondary invasions made by other amoebae such as Entamoeba histolytica. A retrospective study determined the first documented case of PAM possibly occurred in Britain in 1909. In 1966, four cases were reported in the US. By 1968 the causative organism, previously thought to be a species of Acanthamoeba or Hartmannella, was identified as Naegleria. This same year, occurrence of sixteen cases over a period of three years (1962–1965) was reported in Ústí nad Labem, Czechoslovakia. In 1970, Carter named the species of amoeba N. fowleri, after Malcolm Fowler.

Society and culture
Naegleria fowleri is also known as the "brain-eating amoeba". The term has also been applied to Balamuthia mandrillaris, causing some confusion between the two; Balamuthia mandrillaris is unrelated to Naegleria fowleri, and causes a different disease called granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. Unlike naegleriasis, which is usually seen in people with normal immune function, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis is usually seen in people with poor immune function, such as those with HIV/AIDS or leukemia.

Naegleriasis was the topic of episodes 20 and 21 in Season 2 of the medical mystery drama House, M.D. It is also the topic of the episode "39 Differences" of season 6 of The Good Doctor.

Research
The U.S. National Institutes of Health budgeted $800,000 for research on the disease in 2016. Phenothiazines have been tested in vitro and in animal models of PAM. Improving case detection through increased awareness, reporting, and information about cases might enable earlier detection of infections, provide insight into the human or environmental determinants of infection, and allow improved assessment of treatment effectiveness.

Alpha Bank is the fourth largest Greek bank by total assets. It has a subsidiary and branch in London, England and subsidiaries in Cyprus and Romania. Founded in 1879, it has been controlled by the Costopoulos family since its inception. Most recently, Ioannis Costopoulos, grandson of original founder John F. Costopoulos, and nephew of Stavros Costopoulos, foreign minister in the government of Georgios Papandreou, served in many important capacities before his death March 9, 2021.

History

In Greece

In 1879, John F. Costopoulos established a small commercial firm in the city of Kalamata. The banking department of the "J.F. Costopoulos" firm changed its name to Bank of Kalamata in 1918. The bank moved its headquarters to Athens and changed its name to Banque de Credit Commercial Hellenique in 1924, and on 2 November 1925 the bank was listed on the Athens Exchange.

The bank changed its name to the Commercial Credit Bank (CCB) in 1947, and this name was changed to Credit Bank (Trapeza Pisteos) in
1972, and to Alpha Credit Bank (ACB) in 1994.

In 1999, ACB acquired 51% of the shares of the Ionian Popular Bank, and absorbed it in 2000. It also changed its name to name to Alpha Bank. An attempted merger between Alpha Bank and the National Bank of Greece fell through in 2002.

In 2012, Alpha Bank called off its merger with Eurobank Ergasias, which had been announced the previous year. The same year, Alpha Bank acquired the Greek department of Emporiki Bank from Credit Agricole for €1. The legal merger was completed on 28 June 2013.  On 31 May 2013 the bank proceeded in a successful recapitalization with an over-subscription of the required private-sector participation in the Rights Issue, which resulted in the preservation of Alpha Bank's private character. Alpha Bank also took over the deposits of Cooperative Bank of Dodecanese, Cooperative Bank of Western Macedonia, and Cooperative Bank of Evia in 2013,
and acquired the entire share capital of Emporiki Bank.

On 31 March 2014 Alpha Bank successfully completed its €1.2 billion capital increase. The Bank redeemed the total amount of the Hellenic Republic's Preference Shares on 17 April 2014.  On 26 October 2014 Alpha Bank announced the successful completion of the European Central Bank's (ECB) Comprehensive Assessment in the Static Adverse Scenario with CET1 8.07% and Capital Surplus of Euro 1.3 billion. Based on the dynamic adverse assumptions, CET1 stands at 8.45% with Capital Surplus of Euro 1.8 billion. Also in 2014, Alpha Bank took over Citibank's Greek retail banking operations.

Alpha Bank requested Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) from the Bank of Greece on 16 January 2015. Its total funding from the ECB (ELA and non-ELA) was €29.9 bn as of 30 September 2015. On 17 July 2015 it sold its Bulgarian branches to Postbank (Bulgaria), the subsidiary of fellow Greek bank Eurobank Ergasias.

Alpha Bank's 2015 end-year result is Risk-Weighted Assets: €52.6bn. Total loans: €62 bn (€52.5 bn in Greek loans, €9.5bn in loans abroad). 51.3% are non-performing exposures using the European Banking Authority definition, with a 50% Provision coverage and €31.4 bn in deposits (€26.3 bn in Greek deposits). Loan to deposit ratio=147%. Cost to income ratio=50%.

In 2019, Alpha Bank was among the Greek organisations raided by authorities as part of an investigation on anti-competitive practices, horizontal agreements or exclusionary practices in the provision of payment services.

International expansion

In 1960, the Commercial Credit Bank established a subsidiary in Cyprus that it may later have closed or sold.

The bank started a program of international expansion, especially in Southeastern Europe, in early 1990. In 1994, Credit Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) established Banca București in Romania, which commenced operations the following year. Credit Bank owned about 50% of the bank. The ACB also acquired the Commercial Bank of London from the Commercial Bank of Greece (Emporiki Bank) in 1994 and renamed it Alpha Credit Bank London.

In 1998 ACB established a branch in Tirana, Albania, and followed that with three more branches. In the same year, it acquired 82.5% of Lombard NatWest Bank in Cyprus and renamed it Alpha Bank Cyprus Ltd. In 1999 ACB acquired 65% of Kreditna Banka, Skopje, in North Macedonia.(see Alpha Bank Skopje).

Banca București changed its name to Alpha Bank Romania (ABR) in 2000. Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena took a 5% share in the bank, and Alpha Bank's share became 63%. ABR itself acquired a 12.5% stake in Victoria Bank (est. 1989), the largest private bank in Moldova. In 2002 ACB acquired the minority stake and became the sole shareholder in Alpha Bank Skopje, accounting for 100% of its share capital. Alpha Bank acquired an 88.64% stake in Serbian Jubanka and changed its name to Alpha Bank Beograd, and then to Alpha Bank Srbija in early 2005.

Alpha Bank also has an extensive branch network in Bulgaria, the foundation of which it inherited from Ionian and Popular Bank, which entered in 1994 with a representative office in Sofia.

In August 2007, the Turkish Banking Regulatory and Supervisory Agency blocked Alpha Bank's move to buy a 50% share in Alternatifbank (Abank) citing Alpha Bank as not meeting the terms of Article 8 of Turkey's banking law. The article covers the financial strength, track record and personal history of a bank's board of directors. On 27 March 2008 Alpha Bank reached a deal to buy a majority stake in newly established OJSC Astra Bank in Ukraine, as part of plans to expand in the region. Alpha Bank agreed to buy 90% of Astra Bank for €9 million. Astra Bank became insolvent in March 2015, and in July 2015 it was acquired 100% by Agro Holdings (Ukraine) Limited (a company owned by the US-based NCH Capital).

Alpha Bank has a branch in London and a finance company, and ran Alpha Finance US, in New York, which no longer exists.

In October 2023 it was announced that Alpha Bank in Romania will merge with UniCredit leaving Alpha with a 9.9% holding in the new Romanian bank.

Carlota Bustelo García del Real, née à Madrid le , est une femme politique espagnole. Elle est l'une des personnalités historiques du féminisme et du socialisme en Espagne.

Biographie
Issue d'une famille progressiste, elle reçoit une éducation basée sur les principes de l'Institution Libre d'Enseignement. Elle est la sœur de Francisco et de Carlos Bustelo et la cousine de Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo.

Durant la dictature, elle s'exile en France. Elle épouse en 1960 le militant socialiste Juan Manuel Kindelán à Saint-Jean-de-Luz, puis s'installe à Paris où vit son frère Francisco Bustelo. Elle décroche le certificat d'études politiques de l'Institut d'Etudes politiques de Paris, puis devient professeure d'espagnol à Metz. De retour à Madrid, en 1965, elle se rapproche des associations de femmes et des organisations militantes socialistes.

Diplômée en Sciences Politiques de l'Université Complutense de Madrid et engagée dans le socialisme espagnol depuis la fin des années 50, elle rejoint le PSOE, en 1974, à l'âge de 35 ans. Elle participe à la création du Frente de Liberación de la Mujer.

Elle est élue députée de Madrid du PSOE aux élections générales de 1977. Elle défend notamment la légalisation de la contraception et l'égalité femmes-hommes.

Au scrutin suivant, en 1979, elle refuse de faire partie de la liste pour protester contre la décision par la PSOE de ne pas présenter au moins 15% de femmes aux élections.

En 1981, elle participe à l'élaboration de la Loi du Divorce du 22 juin 1981 du ministre de la Justice Francisco Fernández Ordóñez, avec d'autres personnalités féministes comme Ana María Pérez del Campo.

En 1983, elle devient la première directrice de l'Instituto de la Mujer.

De 1985 à 1996, elle est membre de la Convention sur l'élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l'égard des femmes des Nations unies.

En 1988, elle est nommée sous-secrétaire du ministère des Affaires sociales, dirigé par Matilde Fernández.

Elle est depuis considérée comme l'une des grandes figures du féminisme espagnol contemporain.

Die Partei Freier Bürger (PFB) war eine kurzlebige konservative Partei in der Freien Hansestadt Bremen.

Die PFB wurde 1975 durch Emil Koschek, Abgeordneter der CDU in der Bremischen Bürgerschaft, als Abspaltung der CDU gegründet. Koschek sah die PFB als rechtskonservative Alternative zur CDU und suchte die Nähe zur CSU und zu Franz Josef Strauß. Im Juni 1975 entstand auch ein Bremer "CSU-Freundeskreis". Analog zur PFB gab es auch in anderen Teilen Deutschlands den Versuch, eine bundesweite konservative Vierte Partei neben CDU, SPD und FDP in Deutschland zu etablieren.

Im September 1975 trat die PFB zur Bürgerschaftswahl in Bremen an und scheiterte mit 0,4 % der Stimmen klar am Einzug in die Bürgerschaft.

1979 beteiligte sich die PFB an der Gründung der Bremer Grüne Liste, die bei den Wahlen 1979 als erste Grüne Partei in ein Landesparlament einzog.

Clive Burr (8 Mart 1957 - 12 Mart 2013) Iron Maiden grubunun Nicko McBrain'den önceki davulcusuydu. Gruba 1979 yılında Doug Sampson'ın yerine katıldı.

Iron Maiden öncesi
Burr, davulculuk kariyerine Maya adlı bir grupta başladı. 1977'de Maya'dan Chris Aylmer, Samson'a dahil olurken, arkadaşı Burr'u da davulcu olarak tavsiye etti. Burr, Samson'un ilk iki single'ı "Mr. Rock 'N Roll" ve "Telephone"'da çaldı.

Iron Maiden
1979'da davulcusu Doug Sampson ile yollarını ayıran Iron Maiden, o dönem gruba yeni katılan Dennis Stratton'un önerisiyle Burr'u gruba dahil etti. Grubun ilk üç albümünde, Iron Maiden, Killers ve The Number of the Beast'te çalmıştır. Number of the Beast albümünde Run to the Hills'in başında çaldığı davul introsu heavy metal tarihinin en bilinen davul ataklarından biri oldu. Ayrıca "Gangland" ve albümün 1998 tarihli yeniden basımında yer alan "Total Eclipse"in şarkı yazarları arasında Burr'un da adı yer aldı. Ancak 1982 yılında turne hayatının zorlukları, kişisel sorunlar ve bunlara bağlı aşırı alkol kullanımı yüzünden gruptan ayrılmak zorunda kalmıştır. Burr'un yeri Nicko McBrain ile dolduruldu.

Iron Maiden sonrası
Gruptan ayrıldıktan sonra kendisinin yerine gelen Nicko McBrain'in yerini doldurmak üzere Fransız heavy metal grubu Trust grubuna katıldı ve grubun Idéal albümünde çaldı. 1984'te Praying Mantis elemanlarından oluşan Stratus ile bir albüm kaydetti. Bir yıl sonra yolu tekrar Paul Di'Anno ile kesişen Burr, Gogmagog adlı toplama bir grupta davul çaldı. Grup, bir EP sonrasında dağıldı. 1988-1990 yılları arasında Twisted Sister vokalisti Dee Snider'ın solo projesi Desperado'da çaldı. Bu kayıtlar 2006'da Ace adıyla yayınlandı. 1990'da Elixir adlı bir grupla çaldı ve bir albüm kaydetti. 1995'te bir kez daha Praying Mantis'e dahi oldu. Bu sefer grupta Maiden'dan arkadaşı Stratton da yer alıyordu. Grup, bu kadrosuyla Captured Alive In Tokyo City adlı bir konser albümü çıkardı.

Özel hayatı
1990'larda Burr'e Multipl skleroz teşhisi kondu. Hastalığın tedavisi kendisini büyük miktarda borç içine soktu. Iron Maiden tedavisine katkıda bulunmak üzere bir dizi konser verdi ve "Clive Burr MS Fonu"nun kurulmasına yardımcı oldu.

Bir süredir kendisine ve diğer hastalara yardım amacıyla Clive Aid adıyla yardım festivalleri düzenlenmektedir.

12 Mart 2013'te 56 yaşındayken uykusunda ölmüştür.

Muriel Helen Duckworth  (née Ball; October 31, 1908 – August 22, 2009) was a Canadian pacifist, feminist, and social and community activist. She was a practising Quaker, a religious denomination committed to non-violence. Duckworth maintained that war, with its systematic violence against women and children, is a major obstacle to social justice. She argued that money spent on armaments perpetuates poverty while reinforcing the power of privileged elites. She believed that "war is stupid" and she steadfastly refused to accept popular distinctions between "good" and "bad" wars.

Duckworth was a founding member of the Nova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace, a provincial branch of the national peace organization called the Voice of Women (VOW). From 1967 to 1971, she served as president of VOW leading protests against the Canadian government's quiet support for the U.S.-led War in Vietnam.

Duckworth was the first woman in Halifax to run for a seat in the Nova Scotia legislature. She also led community organizing efforts seeking improvements in education, housing, social assistance and municipal planning. In her later years, Duckworth performed with the Halifax chapter of the Raging Grannies, a group that composes and sings satirical ballads promoting social justice.

Duckworth received many honours and awards including the 1981 Governor General's Award in Commemoration of the Persons Case and the Order of Canada in 1983. In 1991, she received the Pearson Medal of Peace. She was also granted 10 honorary university degrees.

Childhood influences

Early life and education

Muriel Helena Ball was born on October 31, 1908, on her parents' farm in Austin, Quebec, a village in the Eastern Townships about 130 km east of Montreal. She was one of five children born to Anna Westover and Ezra Ball. Their farm was on the scenic shores of Lake Memphremagog and Muriel spent her first years enjoying the natural beauty around her. She was so deeply affected by the landscape that she returned nearly every summer for the rest of her life to the cottage her aunt and uncle built in 1913.

Although the family farm was suitable for raising livestock such as chickens and cattle, the land was not very fertile. Muriel's mother supplemented the family income by taking in summer boarders, while her father sold lightning rods. Muriel attended a local one-room country school until she was seven, then transferred to a larger school in the town of Magog where she boarded during the week with two siblings and an aunt. In 1917, when she was nine, her father sold the farm and bought a grocery and feed store in Magog. He also sold wood and oil. The next year, her mother opened a tea room and boarding home that catered to summer visitors who came by steamship and rail. As they grew older, Muriel and her two sisters helped their mother with cleaning, cooking, making beds and waiting on tables. Serving the public in the tea room helped Muriel cope with her chronic shyness.

Anna Ball as role model

Her mother's career as a successful businesswoman and her dedication to community service in the Methodist church and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union had a powerful influence on Muriel. Anna Ball had a boarding house, a block from the train station. She fed hungry men and gave shelter to homeless young women who came to Magog on the trains and raised funds to establish a home for the elderly and started a community lending library. Duckworth was also an admirer of Nellie McClung and Agnes Macphail, two political activists who championed women's rights. Many decades later, Muriel told an interviewer that her mother's example helped lead her into social activism. Her mother cared passionately about what she did, Muriel said. She believed she could have a positive effect and did.

Ontario Ladies College

After finishing high school which ended at grade 11, Muriel attended the Ontario Ladies College, a Methodist girls' school in Whitby, Ontario. Her aunt, Abbie Ball, taught there and offered to pay Muriel's fees. The college provided instruction in languages, history, mathematics and piano but little science. The 15-year-old Muriel was too shy to participate in drama even though her aunt was the school's drama coach. She also suffered from homesickness. Once a month, guest speakers, usually from the United Church of Canada addressed the student assembly. Muriel especially remembered James Endicott, then a missionary in China, who went on to become a prominent church leader and a lifelong acquaintance.

University years

McGill, 1925–1929

Muriel undertook studies at Montreal's McGill University with the help of a small college bursary and money from her Aunt Abbie. She was enrolled in the university's Bachelor of Arts program and in her graduating year, took the education courses required to qualify for a high school teaching diploma. To practice teaching in front of a classroom full of children as well as her fellow education students was especially difficult for her, but Muriel hid her fear so well that the supervising professor praised her apparent lack of nervousness. She also tried to overcome her shyness by entering a public speaking contest and volunteering to take minutes at student meetings.

Student Christian Movement

Muriel's participation in the Student Christian Movement (SCM) at McGill was a life-changing experience. "Looking back over the years," she told her biographer, "I've felt always that the experience of the SCM was the most important thing that happened to me, probably the most important aspect of my college life, more important than any of the courses that I took." The SCM conducted small study groups in which students were encouraged to discuss their beliefs freely and come to their own conclusions about how to interpret the Gospels. For Muriel, such discussions were unsettling and painful, yet also exciting. "I had always before treated the Gospel as though its authors had set down day by day events in the life of Jesus as they happened," she said. "To face the implication that nothing was written down until after Jesus died was itself a shock. But this question of free and open discussion, that everything needed to be challenged, to be questioned, to be talked about, that was completely opposite to the authoritarian approach in the church." The SCM study groups fostered independent thinking. "This was the beginning of my adult search for truth," Muriel told her biographer, "and my sense that all things must be open to me."

Graduation and marriage

In 1926, Muriel met Jack Duckworth, a McGill student who was also active in the SCM. She was 18, he was 29. Duckworth was attending university to qualify for a job with the YMCA where he had been a volunteer working with boys in Vancouver. To finance his studies, he became a student minister and discovered his talents as a preacher. He decided to continue studying theology after earning his MA degree from McGill. In 1928, Muriel and Duckworth were engaged to be married. In the fall, he began two years of studies at the Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York (UTS). Muriel graduated from McGill in May 1929 and a month later the Duckworths were married at an informal wedding in Montreal. They began their married life in New York where Duckworth was completing his final year at UTS.

Union Theological Seminary

Muriel Duckworth enrolled as a full-time student at Union Theological Seminary in 1929. She was also registered as a part-time UTS field student and worked with poor teenage girls at a community church in Hell's Kitchen on New York's West Side. Duckworth met these 16-and-17-year-old working-class girls twice a week in a recreation group and in a Sunday School class. She also visited their homes gaining first-hand knowledge of the conditions experienced by working-class immigrants who lived in cramped, windowless flats beside "booming and clattering" elevated trains. In her academic studies, Duckworth learned about the Social Gospel movement which strove to improve people's lives through social services and adult education at a time when the Great Depression was just beginning. Her teachers at UTS included Harry Ward, a Christian socialist who campaigned for civil and political rights and the noted theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. "The Social Gospel and pacifism were linked in my mind," Duckworth said adding that she remembered hearing about Eugene V. Debs "a labour hero who had gone to prison for opposition to the First World War and who ran for president of the U.S. while he was in jail."

Family life

Muriel and Jack Duckworth returned to Montreal in 1930 where they began raising a family. Their son Martin was born in 1933; Eleanor, named after Eleanor Roosevelt, was born in 1935 followed by John in 1938. The family moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1947 where Jack Duckworth served as general secretary of the YMCA, while Muriel worked in adult education. From 1948 until 1962, Muriel was a part-time parent education adviser for the Nova Scotia Department of Education. Jack Duckworth died, age 76, in May 1975 when Muriel was 66.

Subsequent activities

Muriel Duckworth's pacifism was reflected in her religious beliefs and her work on behalf of peace organizations. She was a founding member of the Nova Scotia Voice of Women, a provincial branch of the Voice of Women (VOW). She served as the National President of VOW, now called the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, from 1967 to 1971. During her presidency, VOW protested vigorously against the U.S.-led War in Vietnam. It also condemned the Canadian government's tacit support for the war and its policy of quietly encouraging the sale of Canadian-made weapons to the U.S. military. In 1969 and 1971, Duckworth helped organize two highly publicized visits to Canada by Vietnamese women directly affected by the war.

Duckworth was also active in community organizing, electoral politics and the advancement of women's issues. In 1971, she helped establish the Movement for Citizens' Voice and Action (MOVE), a coalition of community groups in Halifax, Nova Scotia working for a wide range of goals including improvements in education, housing, social assistance and municipal planning. Duckworth became the first woman in Halifax to run for a seat in the Nova Scotia Legislature when she campaigned as a New Democratic Party candidate during the provincial elections of 1974 and 1978. In 1976, she became a founding member of the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW), an organization set up to sponsor the dissemination of research on issues affecting women. She served as president of CRIAW in 1979–80. Later, she played a leading role in organizing a five-day Women's International Peace Conference held in Halifax in June 1985.

Duckworth was the recipient of numerous honours including the 1981 Governor General's Award in Commemoration of the Persons Case and the Order of Canada in 1983. In 1991, she received the Pearson Medal of Peace. She was also granted 10 honorary degrees including one from Mount Saint Vincent University in 1978 and another from Dalhousie University in 1987. In celebration of her 100th birthday, Oxfam Canada established the Jack and Muriel Duckworth Fund for Active Global Citizenship in recognition of Duckworth and her late husband's leadership in working for social justice. Duckworth was awarded a posthumous Order of Nova Scotia on September 2, 2009.

Death and legacy
Duckworth fell and broke her leg in August 2009 while at her Quebec cottage. She was treated in hospital in Magog, Quebec, where her condition deteriorated. As she received palliative care, Duckworth reportedly told visitors, "I'm going to leave you now. It's time for me to go. Everything is ready." Then she added: "Be happy with each other. You have each other. Goodbye, I'm going now." Her imminent death drew this comment from her friend, the well-known scholar and peace activist Ursula Franklin: "I would like her to be remembered as somebody who demonstrated that it's possible to change one's society, to be profoundly critical and still remain a respected member of that society." Muriel Duckworth died on August 22, 2009, aged 100. Her biographer, Marion Douglas Kerans said, "She showed women how to become true leaders in their community, and in the world, without losing any feminine grace."

Hadrian 4. (født som Nicholas Breakspear(e) omkr. 1100 i St Albans, død 1. september 1159 i Anagni) var pave fra den 4. december 1154 til sin død – kirkehistoriens hidtil eneste pave af engelsk oprindelse.

Breakspeare blev nægtet optagelse i sit lokale kloster, men blev kannik ved Skt. Rufus i Avignon og siden kardinalbiskop af Albano.

Fra 1150 til 1153 var han pavelig legat i Skandinavien, hvor han i 1152 gennemførte oprettelsen af Norges ærkebispesæde i Nidaros (nu Trondhjem), der omfattede Norge (med Orkneyøerne, Shetlandsøerne, Island og Grønland), som hidtil havde hørt under det danske ærkesæde i Lund.

Selvom Hadrian 4.s tid som pave var præget af konflikt med Det Tysk-romerske Rige, kronede han i 1155 Frederik Barbarossa til kejser.
